No real life proof from any so I'm going back to RP. I just use the api sn. I had turbo bearing issues before then I started the uoa's to see whats up. I believe the turbo issue was the recommended oil inlet fitting was restricted too much, we'll see soon. The car usually only sees 6000 miles a...

Thank you ! It was mostly other forums and then some here also. People talk toooo expensive RP, but I buy it at about the same as M1, so its not that. I just want my turbo to live on. Thanks Again

Can you tell me exactly what he wrote here, the part in the (( )) not sure I get what he means. I also heard lately that this oil was not good for an oil cooled aftermarket turbo application, Thoughts ? Thanks for any help or replys on what you see. I'll be reading as much as I can here about...
